Hyypia over Brown. Besides, look at the performances of the likes of Silvestre and O'Shea this season if you want to say it's the midfield's fault. Or better yet, watch Mr. Evra in the Manchester derby. Ouch.

As for Ruud leaving due to Fergie's personal feelings, it's happened before. Stam, Beckham, Keane... (if Stam and Beckham were still there, they'd be challenging Chelski, imho)

England played alright. Nothing special.
